"'As funny as Wodehouse and as witty as Waugh'" (Independent)
"'The best kind of parody - funny and smart and still a good story'" (Mail on Sunday)
"'Imagine a collision between Jonathan Swift at his most scatologically-minded and J.R.R. Tolkien on speed'" (Daily Telegraph)
"'Like Dickens, much of Pratchett's appeal lies in his humanism, both in a sentimental regard for his characters' good fortune, and in that his writing is generous-spirited and inclusive'" (Guardian)
